All Time Cricket Draft (AGAIN?)

[Mateyman]

Herbert Sutcliffe- Yorkshire, England, 1877-1929. Superstar test opener, I have no doubt that Ponsford and Sutcliffe are the best combo you'll find. Average of 61

Was looking at Sutcliffe. Went for Hutton though

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Sorry guys, was out. The ladies demand it. If these picks are off, meh, my mind is elsewhere.

I'll take the best left arm quick the game has seen, and the black Bradman.

WASIM AKRAM - Pakistan/Lahore - [1965-1989]

GEORGE HEADLEY - West Indies/Jamaica - [1930-1964]

The dates for those taken...

Bill O'Reilly - [1930-1964]

Jack Hobbs [1877-1929]

I express my emotions. Is that a good or bad thing?

Its a good thing buddy. Gives us that little bit more satisfaction knowing the great one such as yourself was considering our selections

 

[eth-dog]

I think I'll take Harold Larwood. Handy batsman in the tail and a very good bowler. Only played 21 tests, but took 78 wickets at an average of 28.35 and a strike rate of 63.7 proving to be a great strike bowler. Yes, there's a lot of controversy surrounding him about Bodyline, but I'll take one of the premier fast bowler this world's ever seen. Have him before 1930

Could you please clarify my earlier question before I make my pick? Are we judging XI's or squads?

Oh right, apologies.

Fred Spofforth - pre 1930's (tas)

Nicknamed 'the demon', the greatest fast bowler of his generation took 94 test wickets at 18.41 a piece. Whilst 94 seems like a low number, this came in only 18 test matches.

I wasn't going to take him, then I remembered that I know very few players pre-1930 so I need to

Kumble @ 8 is about the worst selection I have ever seen in any draft ever.

Kumble @ 8 is about the worst selection I have ever seen in any draft ever.

I'm from the Terry Wallace school of drafting.

My teams going to be fine though, I'm ok with my decision. I wanted Kumble, grabbed him, and the rest of my planned picks should be there.

Haters gonna hate

 

[Noobz0r]

For what its worth, it was a coin toss between Kumble and Quiney at 8.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Kumble @ 8 is about the worst selection I have ever seen in any draft ever.

In fairness to Noobz0r we are selecting teams suited to our home grounds and no doubt Kumble would be a must have at Eden Gardens.

The fact that it's at Eden Gardens would move his projected selection from pick 300 to pick 180 imo. Still the worst pick I have ever seen

Yeah each to their own i suppose. Whilst i prob wouldnt have selected Kumble at 8 i also wouldnt have gone Eden Gardens as the home ground.

This is fun.

This is fun.

Sure is. Enjoyed the last Era draft we did. Makes you think and have to be quite tactical too.
